The Slip
I'm a child of December. Heck, so are many of my friends.
So when My Old Kentucky Blog wrote about a band that's opening for My Morning Jacket (one of my favorite bands in the world) that has a song called Children of December, I had to check it out.
...And I loved it!
Apparently they're Bostonians, been around for over a decade, have a rep for a jam band rocked-out vibe live, and are friends with Jim James. And they make catchy, harmonic, rambly, sweet music.
So do yourself a big favor and go check out The Slip on MOKB.
UPDATE: OK. A little digging around on the internets has made it clear that these guys have a definite jam band-style following. Trading live bootlegs, dorky nicknames for followers, etc. It's cool. I already admitted that I like them, so I can't take it back now. Also, I have totally been hanging out with a certain person who may or may not have a history of being real into the jam band scene.
